Masses will be held on Saturday, January 29th. However, due to the severity of the impending Nor’easter we strongly urge you to use sound judgment. If you are accustomed to coming to Mass on Saturday, remember it’s not a sin to come on Sunday this week instead! Our plowing contractors (due to the magnitude of this storm and other contractual obligations) ensure that our campus will be ready for Sunday morning. However, Saturday is not a guarantee, especially considering the storm will not have ended before our vigil Mass begins. Please be safe during the storm everyone!!! In a nice way, this notice serves to gently encourage you all to see me on Sunday! God Love You! Father Fraini

During FY 2021 our parish continues to successfully deal with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Revenues were steady as parishioners consistently donated to the parish as before while we did our best to limit expenses. Please click on the link above for the full report.
On behalf of the family of Fr Gee, I wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the kindnesses and support you have shown to Father throughout the years. Father often told us how blessed he was to be among you, but it was overwhelming to hear so many of you tell of your own personal experiences with him. I cannot find the words to express how much you all meant to him and what that means to us. I also want to thank the numerous individuals who left Mass Memorials and Perpetual Enrollments along with the beautiful flowers. Very truly yours, Anne T. Hogan, for the family of Fr. John Gee
